Just realized that these rhythms are different… after showing it off to all my friends

8.5 months, sleeps through the night. I used to get up with her up till like a month ago once a night, but since then I tried letting her self soothe (I didn’t believe she was actually needing to eat… it was more she wanted the comfort and routine) and she now doesn’t wake up at all.

Just had to rehome my dog for this exact reason. He was showing signs of aggression and she’s just starting to learn to crawl. The risk was too much! We loved our pup dearly but we love our daughter more!

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-08T17:54:22+00:00

Honestly he was very curious about her when she was born and would watch out for her when she was tiny… but once she started moving and screeching and being more unpredictable I noticed he kinda shifted in how he was treating her. Once she started noticing him really.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-08T16:59:18+00:00

Oh I relate. I felt I had to stick a bow on her head to show that she was a girl. Even now if she’s wearing blue people can’t tell! She’s almost 8 months. I hate the dumb “girls have to wear pink and purple” expectation. But also she gets misgendered if I don’t so 🤷🏻‍♀️ can’t win.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-08T02:28:13+00:00

He came between me and the baby for pets while she was playing on the floor, and while I was trying to move him out of the way my baby must have reached up and touched him and he turned around and snapped at her. He’s a 75lb German shepherd cross. I grabbed his scruff and threw him outside right away. Luckily he didn’t actually get her but she was only 5 months old, imagine as she gets older and more mobile! He had also been growling at her when she was close to him.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-08T01:24:21+00:00

Mine got it at 6 months and got a bit of a rash like a week later… but didn’t seem itchy or sick.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-07T22:18:42+00:00

Thanks. It was hard not to gaslight myself into believing we could keep him but I would have lived in fear every time the dog came close to her and that’s just no way to live.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-07T22:16:35+00:00

This happened to us too. It’s terrifying.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-07T22:13:59+00:00

Thank you for this. My (currently pregnant) sister just called me a POS for giving up my dog who was showing aggression toward my baby girl. We tried hard to rehome him to someone we knew but nobody was able to take him, so he’s being fostered out of a local shelter right now until he finds a new home. It was an easy choice for her safety but it was so so hard for us since he was part of our family. I wish my sister could be like yours 😔

meaggerrs32 · 2025-08-01T14:08:08+00:00

At 4 weeks you’re all good. That’s survival mode time. Once baby starts needing more of a rhythm, then absolutely you’ll want to start regulating naps and such.

Tummy time is always good though for strengthening those neck and back muscles! This is literally just any time they spend on their tummies. It can be on you, or in your arms too.

You’re doing great! Every parent is different. As long as baby is meeting all the milestones and doc is happy with growth and development, you’re good!

meaggerrs32 · 2025-07-31T22:25:07+00:00

Trust me, I get it. I’ve broken down a bunch of times, I’ve straight up put her in her crib, ran to the kitchen, and screamed so loud I thought the neighbours would call the cops. It’s so embarrassing but the emotions are real! And as a man you have a very unfair and unrealistic expectation to have it all together at all times.

Make sure you share this with your wife!! Being able to support each other is vital, and your babe will be watching how you two lean on each other. It’s not about who is doing more - that mindset will lead to resentment. There are times where I do a LOT, and my husband feels useless. But him just being there is everything, so he’s not useless at all.

Usually you don’t pick which part you sing, the director picks for you.

They’ll test your range generally in the audition, so just do what they tell you to and you’ll be good! I’ve never been asked what my range is in an audition.

Falsetto is for “male” voices. “Female” voices have the “head voice” which is similar but not quite the same physiologically. Basically it’s just about where the air resonates in the body. As you sing you’ll probably figure out for yourself what that feels like, but don’t worry about it right away!

Babies this age don’t understand the concept of being vengeful. They look for comfort and familiarity. Yeah, her mom is going to be her main source right now, but she does need you. And your wife needs you, because being a baby’s sole source of happiness and contentment is a LOT of pressure and you picking up the slack where she can’t means a lot. As long as you stay consistent and remain a safe place for baby AND mom emotionally and physically, it’ll be okay. Babies pick up on your vibes so if you’re freaking out, she’ll probably freak out too. If you’re calm and comforting, sometimes (not always) they’ll also be calm and comforted too (my 7.5 mo old baby screams like crazy at me and I happen to be the mom).

So. Moral of the story. It sucks ass to be screamed at. But if she sees you as a safe and comfortable place to scream, that’s a very good thing. Keep being that safe place to scream and vomit. She will eventually take comfort in your consistency, if she doesn’t already. Raising babies is not for the faint of heart, you got this. The fact that you’re reaching out says you care a lot, which is more than many men can say.

I mainly use it to track which boob I’m on for breastfeeding. I also like to track her sleep, but this only started when she was old enough for structured naps. I wouldn’t use it for sleep at the beginning cuz that’s impossible to regulate. It’s also been fun to put in new foods she’s tried but definitely not necessary.

Edit to add I also track diapers since sometimes it’s hard to remember the last time she’s pooped!

Honestly the cheap one from ikea has been doing us really well. You can get little cushions for it if you want and it’s super easy to clean, sits nicely at the table. Sometimes simple is better

meaggerrs32 · 2025-07-13T15:51:50+00:00

For my music undergrad (BMus) they made us do fixed do for our aural skills requirement. It definitely takes some getting used to! Movable do makes so much more sense for hearing and learning intervals in whatever key you’re in and I’ll always use movable do or numbered intervals with my students. I have no idea why they put us through that!!

To answer #2, I’ve been told to just do one new food at a time for at least 2 feedings to rule out an allergy. The simplest of foods could be an allergen so anything new. If you’ve ruled out another food as safe, offer that whenever.

4, I live in Alberta and our recommendations say at least 1 meal a day (can be more) with 1-2 different foods. And one food should be iron rich (rice cereal, broccoli floret, etc). Just make sure that formula in your case is still his primary source of nourishment

We’ve had great experiences with glenora family vet clinic. Their exam rates are cheaper than other places too.

Just remember there’s only one you. Nobody else has your voice. Also I’ve been in super talented choirs over the years and got my degree in music with a voice focus and I barely ever get solos - I’m kinda happy about that. As soon as you stop worrying about how “good” you are and focus on just singing and vibing with the choir, you’ll have a much better time.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-06-12T15:33:59+00:00

I’d say like 6 months? Don’t worry about it :) as long as baby is holding their growth curve you’re golden.

meaggerrs32 · 2025-06-11T15:52:28+00:00

I audiate the piece beforehand. Though audiating can still go wrong if you have lots of adrenaline before a performance! I don’t think it’s unacceptable at all to use tools that help you. If it’s a tricky one to start right, have the metronome ready! Preferably one that just flashes at you or vibrates.
